This vintage cast-iron bowl is molded with Chinese cash-coin iconography referencing the Qianlong Tongbao inscription associated with Qing-era currency.
The form is a shallow circular dish with a recessed central square and ringed characters, produced as a modern interpretation rather than Qing-period metalwork. Cast-iron construction and uniform blackened surface indicate 20th-century foundry production for decorative or utility purposes, including use as an ashtray, incense bowl, or general tabletop dish.
The 7.5-inch diameter scale aligns with medium accessory formats made for export markets in Asian-themed giftware.
Provenance details unknown; acquired directly from a Northern California collection.
